The Boeing Co. in Ridley Park, PA recently received a pair of sole-source contracts related to the CH-47 medium transport helicopter. The contracts include both a remanufacturing contract and advanced avionics for new-build aircraft. Both contracts were issued by the Army Aviation and Missile Command in Huntsville, AL.
A $186.2 million firm-price-incentive-fee contract for CH-47F Improved Cargo Helicopters is expected to be completed by March 31, 2007 (W58RGZ-04-G-0023), while a $25.9 million modification to a firm-price-price and cost-plus-fixed-fee contract for Cut In Common Avionics Architecture System and Digital Advanced Flight Control System to the CH-47 New Build Production Effort is expected to be completed by July 31, 2008 (W58RGZ-04-C-0012).
Northrop Grumman Systems Corp. in Bethpage, NY received a $10.2 million modification to a previously awarded firm-fixed-price contract (N00019-03-C-0044) to upgrade 10 E-2C Group II Hawkeye carrier-based airborne early warning & control aircraft to the Group II navigation upgrade configuration. Work will be performed in St. Augustine, FL and is expected to be complete in November 2007. The Naval Air Systems Command, Patuxent River, Md. issued the contract.
The U.S. Air Force (USAF) recently decided to recompete the lion’s share of a $4 billion contract to update guidance, navigation, communications systems, and cockpit displays for about 670 C-130 Hercules medium transport aircraft. Michael Dominguez, acting secretary of the Air Force, announced his decision in an April 26, 2005 letter to U.S. Comptroller General David Walker, two months after a government agency concluded that the 2001 contract award was tainted by service-acquisition chief Darleen Druyun.
Pentagon officials said on Feb. 14, 2005 that Druyun, who went to work for Boeing in January 2003 and also secured jobs for family members in return for influence over military procurement decisions, may have improperly influenced up to eight contracts.
Lockheed Martin received a $37.8 million contract to provide the U.S. Air Force with Precision Engagement production kits to modify A/OA-10 “Warthog” close air support aircraft 72 each A/AO-10 Precision Engagement Spiral 1 Modification Kits and Associated Test Equipment. At this time, $28.3 million of the funds have been obligated. Solicitation began July 2004 by the Headquarters Ogden Air Logistics Center at Hill Air Force Base, UT (FA8202-05-C-0004). Lockheed Martin release.
The production kits, a result of work by Lockheed Martin, BAE Systems and Southwest Research Institute, are one component of the Precision Engagement program, the largest single upgrade effort ever undertaken for the USA’s A-10 fleet. It will give the A/OA-10 precision strike capability sooner than planned, and combines multiple upgrade requirements into one program rather than executing them as standalone projects. The entire fleet will be modified over 5 years, at an estimated total contract value of $168 million. While O/A-10 aircraft continue to outperform technology-packed rivals on the battlefield, this set of upgrades is expected to help keep the aircraft current until the current fleet’s planned phase-out in 2028.
